GROVER & BAKER'S
SEWING MACHINE;
Tbe following are selectcl from thou
sands of testimonials of similar character,
as expressing the reasons for the prefer
ence for the Grovkr & Baker Machines
over all others.
- " I like the G rover t Baker Msshine,
the firat place, because, if 1 had any other, I
should still want a Grover II Baker, and, hav
ing a Graver & Baker, itanawere the purpose
of all the ret. It does a greater variety of
work and it is easier to learn than acy other."
Mrt. J. C Crcly Jenny June
" I have had uncial years' experience with
a Grover & Baker Machine, which baa given
me great satisfaction. 1 think the Giover &
Baker Machine is more eaaily managed, and
loss liable to get out of order. 1 prefer the
Grover & Baker, decidedly. "-Jfr. Dr. Wattt,
Stw York.
" I have had one in my family for soma two
years, and from what I know of its working,
and from the testimony of many of my
friends who use the same, I can Lrdly aee
bow anything could be more complete or give
better satisfaction." Jrj General Grant.
" 1 beiieve it to be the best, ail thingt con
sidered, of any that I hare known. It is
very simple and easily learned ,- the sewing
from the ordinary spools is a gral' advan
tage ,- the stitch is entirety reliable ; it does
ornamental work beautifully ,- it is not liable
to get out of order." ilrt. A. M. Spuoncr, 36
Bottd Sirtt, Brooklyn. ,
I am acquainted with tbe work of the
, i . i. ; . j i , ;, . r:
v v , ..' ' . .,
A Baker to them all. because I consider tue
. , ,
stitch more elastic
I have work now in tbe
house whicb was done nine years ago, which
. . . , ,. ' , , 6 V A
is est ill good- J.-. Dr. McLrtudu, Ao. 43
. , r i
Ao Tvenly third S.'recl, Aew Tort.
'" More than two-thirds of all the sewing
done in my fairi'.y for the last two yean bas
been don by Grover & linker's Machine, and
I never bad a garment rip or need mending,
except those rents which frolicsome boys will
make in whole cloth. It is, in my opinion by
far the mist valuable of any I have tried."
Mrt. Henry Ward Btecher.

A SIGHT ON A BCRI.G PRAIRIE.
BY M OHEUOR STEEL.
There were ten of us, and a jolly com
pany we were. We all paesed the great
er part of the summer hunting buffalo
and elk on the ..Plains west of Fort La-;
ramie, and had just returned, to Nebraska
City to dispose cf our skins and Indian
ponies and arrange our departure for
home.
- f , . : .
Ilaviug been for over a year beyond
the frontiers of civilization, we were eager
to get back to our homes. Business
matters, however, delayed the company,
so I thought I would take a run up to.
Council Bluffs on a little matter, of which
more anon, and return soon enough to go
East with our party. The distance is
about pixty miles, and the road leads
through one of the most beautiful and
picturesque countries of the West.
- The next morning by four o'clock I
was in my saddle scampering tip ' the
bluffs. The air was "delicious. A cool
breeze from the river greeted me., ' and
upon its zephyr wings bore up f om the
valleys the rich fragrance of the beautiful
prair.e Cowers, A few snow-white clouds
were sleeping just above the horizon,
and glimmering with a silvery light.
The sun could not yet be seen, but was
lighting np the eastern sky with unusu
al brilliancy. It wa October, and beau
tiful birds were singing sweet songs
not like the mirthful music of Spring-but
songs full of sadness and burdened with
the dreamy melody of Nature calmly
waiting ihe dying and falling of her
crimson leaves. The weather was j'et
warm and as the dtty advanced it became
uuusually so. cnveral wteka had passed
without rain, and the vast prairies were
parchkd and clacking iu the burning
sun. " ' . '
It was late' in the afternoon when I
came to a little Indian village nestling
under the-bluffs, close by th river and
about twenty miles from my destination.
Here I stopped to refresh myself and my
pony, preparatory to my riJe across ' the
bottom, a vast level- plain thickly over
grown with prairie grass and rich -with
the deposits of tbe Missouri since the
world began. The distance acroes is
about fifteen miles, but the level of the
intervening plain makes , it appear not
mo re than four or five. . ; . , ,
After a delay of about an hour, . I
was again en route, j with fhe hope of
reaching the opposite bluffs before night
fall. ' .
The Indian trail which I struck led np
the river some ten miles, then abruptly
turned toward the bluffs. ''
' As I neared tbe point of crossing, a
beantiful chain of bluffs, or sand hills,
loomed np before me rising like waves'
upon the ocean's bosom, and extending
far np the river. These hillocks were
formed by the wind constantly blowing
the ' sand from the bottom lands, and
piling it np larger and higher, . until
many of them reach an altitude of sever
al hundred feet. But littlo vegetation
grows upon any of them some have
none at all and on dry days the sand
can be teen drifting np to their summits
and trickling down upon the opposite
side. , ., ;,, y
It is almost impossible to obtain a foot
ing upon any them unless upon one' that
has' been' formed for several' years;
therefore I had to be satisfied with clamb
ering np on one cf long growth, but only
of moderate height. This one, however,
afforded me an extended ; view", of the
beautiful landscape surrounding them.
My attention was here attracted to the
dark clouds hovering over the river, inti
mating the coming of one of the terrible
storms which frequently sweep "with
such fury the prairies of the West '
To the south, as far as the eye could
reach, were dense columns of smoke
curling up into the heavens ; bat it was
too far away for one to particularly

There was a strance stillness in the
atmosphere just after 'tte lightning

moaning of the. wind ,in the " parched
grass, and the sighing of tho tvembfing

the path in a northeasterly direction,
which would bring me into the interior

I quickly resolved to make a " desper
ate effort for my life, and the fwly course
I sawapen to me, was to follow the trail
which had led me so into the depths of
the prairie. ' ' ' -'-'-
It would have been madness to strike
out into the tall grass on either side of
me or to think of ' retracing my steps ;
bnt I lost no time in eonsklenn? my
w
. , ,
chances 6f escape, and spurred my pony
- , ,. i .
forward to a slight clevatiou, which now,
.i. i . i. ,.'
with the glaring light of the fire, gave me ,
a view of the coDtcy for miles. i .

. . ii- nil
The picture was now 'appalling. 1 he
whole heavens were in a glow of light
and the vast - prairie was covered with
streams of fire datieing upon' - the tall
grass and curling lividly up the heavens.
To the south, as fur as 1 could see, every
thing seemed to be eonrnlsed in the
raging element ; to the east and west
there one grand chain of fire, shooting
and fl ishing and mounting higher, to be
lot in " the massive 1 clouds of smoke,
which ; blackened the entire dome of
heaven.' " I now came to a standstill, for
all hope of saving myself and pony, now
fled, and I quietly watched the display

pass by me on the east (the road which
1 had to gain), destroying everything in
its tract. !! t- :' '
The - moon had just come forth from
thehalf-broken clouds, looking paler than
ever before. ' - ''
The fire was now moving onward di
rectly in front of me, and perhaps a hnu
dred yards in frout of the moving column.
All hope of extricating myself and pony
now seemed iu vain, for the flames were
on either side of me, around me," and
were fast closing me in a circle 'Of fire.
: The heated ah' and dense smoke' and
burning cinders rendered the atmosphere
almost suffocating. In -front and rear
and all rouud me was a wall of fire.
: Tbeiewas not. much time to be lost,
and pulling my Indian blanket carefully
about me, and taking care that I" was
firmly seated in my saddle4. 1 Lurried
toward the hissing flames. T looked to
the front, on either side and all rouud me,
but I coulp see no niche through - which
I could dart. , My attention was drawn
to my right for a moment and I saw a
slight break in the "crimson sheets, and
instantly I spurred- my pouy into the
flaming sea-",'A' single' stumble" must
have destroyed us both. For an instant
we were baffled, and my pony shuddered
aud neighed.and 1 thought it a hard fate
to be burned to death alone in a wild
land ! But I plunged my spurs deeper
into his sides, and he made a last desper
ate) plunge and fell upon his knees, but
raised himself and leaped and fell upon
the ground the fire had passed over, ,
My blanket was crisped upon my
back, and my legs and ' bauds were se
verely burned. ." I soon .relieved myself
of burning clothing;"' and turned to look
after my poor pony,, who now lay ..upon
the black and charred stnble nnabled to
rise. '. . . , ,-
-The brave animal had inhaled fire,
and he died! in about a half an hoar. I
stuck the ramrod of my rifle at his bead
to mark bis last resting place.
I then made my way the best I could
to the bluffs, being guided by the light
of the distant fire and at the first house
I came to I was fortnnate enough to get
a horse to carry me to my destination. '
; Large numbers of deer and rabbit
were the next day, dead upon the black
stubble. - ' : 1 ." ' "r- "
A large amonnt of property was con
sumed that night-aud -many of the set
tlers on the bottom lands lost, everything
they , had, barely escaping - with their
lives-, .
Dar are, said a sable orator, "two
roads through this world.7- Deooe am a
broad and narrow road ' dat ' leads to
eternal perdition, and de adder am a nar
row and broad road dat leads to sure de

said a hearer, "dis colled individual takes
